Both are free to download. Tournament Maker sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Bracket Maker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bracket Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tournament Maker has 774 ratings behind it against 84, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Tournament Maker's written reviews are positive against 0% of Bracket Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tournament Maker ships an update every 3 weeks, Bracket Maker monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
